00:00How many of you are from consulting? Oh, that's bad.
00:02I think that without owning something, over an extended period of time, like a few years,
00:09where one has a chance to take responsibility for one's recommendations,
00:13where one has to see one's recommendations through all action stages
00:17and accumulate scar tissue for the mistakes and pick oneself up off the ground and dust oneself off,
00:22one learns a fraction of what one can.
00:25Coming in and making recommendations and not owning the results,
00:28not owning the implementation, I think is a fraction of the value
00:32and a fraction of the opportunity to learn and get better.
00:35You do get a broad cut at companies, but it's very thin.
00:38It's like a picture of a banana.
00:40You might get a very accurate picture, but it's only two-dimensional.
00:44And without the experience of actually doing it, you never get three-dimensional.
00:48So you might have a lot of pictures on your walls.
00:50You can show it off to your friends.
00:51You can say, look, I've worked in bananas, I've worked in peaches, I've worked in grapes,
00:55but you never really taste it.
